In February 2005, Cartoon Network held a contest inviting viewers to make a commercial for the Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law Vol. 1 DVD set (or Harvey Dirdman, as Chris likes to pronounce it). Always willing to earn fame and fortune with minimal effort, Christian stepped up and produced an advertisement promoting:

The terms "Christian Weston Chandler" and "brevity" do not go hand in hand, but due to the contest rules specifying 28-30 second entries CWC delivers his pitch at a manic pace rather than omit anything from his agenda. One can only imagine the seventeen-minute Animal Crossing presentation Chris would have delivered, had he been allowed.

Chris did not win the contest, or even place in the top five. This inspired him to post a complaint on the Adult Swim forums (to be precise, he posted the same complaint twice), but, for some reason, Chris's idea of justice was never served.

The commercial appears in somewhat poor quality on Chris's DVD, but he also uploaded a better version of the same footage to his original YouTube account some time prior to October 31, 2007.

Appearance

Chris' weight has fluctuated wildly, and during this period in his life he actually wasn't that fat. Not as fat as now, anyway. Also, if Chris were to record this today, he would almost certainly tear off his glasses for maximum effect.
